Jabra's Rox Wireless ($130) are a well-designed pair of earbuds with impressive dynamic range. We especially liked how the headphones can turn on or off automatically using the magnetic connection, which also holds them together for storage.

Runners-Up: JBL's Synchros E50BT ($150) sit at the top of the company's Synchros E-series line — over-ear headphones with pleasant, bass-heavy sound and a comfortable fit. AKG's K845BT ($300) are also over-ear headphones at a more premium price, which is justified by the sharp design and clean, balanced sound.
